M&E Planner

The Opportunity Our client, a specialist M&E engineering contractor based in Wigan, is looking for a M&E Planner to take ownership of project programmes across the full delivery cycle, from tender and pre-construction through to construction, commissioning and handover. It is a genuinely central role: good planning is what keeps projects on track, protects delivery dates and gives the management team early sight of where the risks are.

The client is happy to consider planners from either a mechanical or electrical bias, and at any level of experience, from those already established in a planning role to people with the right aptitude looking to develop. What matters is a practical understanding of how projects are sequenced and delivered, and the ability to produce realistic, logic-linked programmes that reflect what actually happens on site.

The role is based at the clients head office in Wigan, with travel to various project sites as required. Salary is £60,000 - £70,000 based on experience, plus a full benefits package.

About the Business Our client is a well-established M&E engineering specialist with national reach and a strong North-West base. Their capability spans mechanical services, electrical engineering, HVAC, in-house design and planned and reactive maintenance, delivered across industrial, food and drink, pharmaceutical and commercial environments for some of the UKs most recognisable end clients.

This is a developing planning role within the business, with support, direction and oversight from senior management. The person who comes in will build a strong understanding of the companys processes, client requirements and delivery standards, with genuine scope to grow their planning capability and commercial awareness over time.

Accreditations include ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. The business has a serious approach to programme control and sees this role as central to improving visibility, protecting delivery and supporting commercial performance across its projects.
